Do you keep any standard labels in stock?
We stock various sized thermal transfer rolls, as well as a couple of lines of hygienic labels, thermal transfer labels and direct thermal labels, but for the most part, our labels are custom made for each job.
How quickly can I get my labels?
After sign off of artwork, generally jobs have an average lead time of 7 to 10 working days.
What sort of printing processes are you able to use?
We have state of the art presses that can print labels using flexographic, letterpress and digital printing.
I would rather not store more labels than I need for a month but still need a cheaper price for my labels. Can you help?
For many of our customers we print based on their forecasts and keep the labels in stock for them to call off when they need it. This helps with small storage areas and helps free up all important cash.
What kind of files do you need to print the job?
We are expert in the use of Adobe CS4 (Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional, Adobe Illustrator CS4, Adobe InDesign CS4, Adobe Photoshop CS4), and Quark Express 6, so we can use artwork supplied in these or earlier versions of the same programs. Illustrator files are preferred because they are best suited to the manipulation we need to perform for optimum results with our style of printing.
Can you use pdf’s?
We can, provided that it is of high resolution.
How do I know if you have knives already that will suit my job?
AC Labels has obtained a huge collection of knives over the years. Please let us know the size that you have in mind. If we don’t have something exactly the same size, more often than not we’ll have a knife very close to it.
